Configuring Modbus Data Points
You can configure Modbus data points using both the General and Driver modes. The following
summarizes the data point configuration tasks you can perform in each mode:
General mode. Enable and set default and invalid values; make the data point persistent; set the
poll rate; set configuration properties (heartbeat, throttle, offline, and send on delta); and add or
delete presets and fields. See Configuring Data Point General Properties earlier in this chapter
for more information on modifying these properties.
Driver mode. Change the icon of and hide the data point. Change the poll rate, access type,
addressing properties, and the format and type parameters.
To configure the driver properties of a Modbus data point, follow these steps:
1. Click Driver.
2. Select one or more Modbus data points to be configured.
3. The Setup - Modbus Data Point Driver Web page opens.
